Turn Assist
The Turn Assist mode helps the caregiver in turn the patient for linen changes, dressing changes, bedpanning, back
care, and other nursing procedures.
NOTE:
For enhanced posterior patient access, Max-inflate may be used once the patient has been turned to the desired side.
The siderails MUST be in the up position to activate Turn Assist. Once the patient has started to turn, the siderails can
be lowered for easier patient access. The alarm will beep twice, as a safety alert, when the siderail is lowered.

1. From the Home Screen, or Pulmonary Therapy screen, scroll to Turn Assist right, Turn Assist left, or Turn
Assist center. Press ENTER.
Siderail Method:
1. On the siderail opposite the Graphical Caregiver Interface (GCI)® Control, press the ENABLE control and
the desired Turn Assist setting. Turn assist will override all therapy modes.
To Deactivate:
